Definitions
- the present invention relates to a liquid crystal display (LCD) device and, more particularly, an LCD device for supplying light to a liquid crystal panel by using a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs).
- LCD liquid crystal display
- LEDs light emitting diodes
- an LCD is a display device for displaying a desired image by adjusting a light transmittance of pixels by separately supplying data signals according to image information to the pixels arranged in a matrix form.
- the LCD device includes a driving unit for driving the liquid crystal display panel with the pixels arranged in the matrix form thereon and the pixels.
- the liquid crystal panel includes a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate and a color filter substrate attached in a facing manner with a uniform cell gap maintained therebetween, and a liquid crystal layer formed in the cell gap between the array substrate and the color filter substrate.
- TFT thin film transistor
- a common electrode and pixel electrodes are formed on the liquid crystal display panel, which is formed as the array substrate and the color filter substrate are attached, to apply electric field to the liquid crystal layer.
- liquid crystal of the liquid crystal layer is rotated due to dielectric anisotropy according to the electric field between the common electrode and the pixel electrodes, thus transmitting light or interrupting light by pixels to allow for display of characters or images.
- the LCD device is a light receiving device that displays an image by adjusting the transmittance of light coming from an external light source, rather than emitting light by itself, so it requires a device, namely, a backlight, for supplying light to the liquid crystal panel.
- the backlight is divided into a side type backlight in which lamps are disposed at one side or at both sides of the liquid crystal panel and light is reflected, diffused and concentrated through a light guide plate, a reflection plate and optical sheets so as to be transmitted to a front surface of the liquid crystal panel and a direct type backlight in which lamps are disposed on a rear surface of the liquid crystal panel so as to be directly transmitted to the front side of the liquid crystal panel.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a general side type backlight.
- the side type backlight includes a light guide plate 41 disposed on a rear surface of the liquid crystal panel (not shown), lamps 25 disposed at the side of the light guide plate 41 , a reflection plate 42 disposed on a rear surface of the light guide plate 41 , a lamp holder (not shown) for fixing the lamps 25 to the side of the light guide plate 41 , and wirings 27 applying power to the lamps 25 .
- Light generated from the lamps 25 are made incident to the side of the light guide plate 41 made of a transparent material, and the reflection plate 42 disposed on the rear surface of the light guide plate 42 reflects light transmitted to the rear surface of the light guide plate 41 to an upper surface of the light guide plate 41 , thus reducing a loss of light and improving uniformity.
- a tube type cold cathode fluorescence lamp having a length corresponding to a longer side distance or a shorter side distance of the liquid crystal panel is applied, and the CCFL generates white light by power supplied through the wirings 27 at both sides thereof.
- a fluorescent discharge tube encapsulating mercury (Hg) gas with argon (Ar), neon (Ne), or the like, added thereto is used as a fluorescent tube in order to use a penning effect.
- electrodes are formed at both ends of the fluorescence discharge tube, and a negative electrode is formed to be large in a plate form, and when voltage is applied thereto, charge particles within the discharge tube collides with the negative electrode in the plate shape, like a sputtering phenomenon, to generate secondary electrons, and the generated secondary electrons excite the nearby elements to form plasma.
- These elements emit strong ultraviolet rays, and as the emitted ultraviolet rays excite phosphor again, the phosphor emits visible rays.
- the backlight using the CCFL has not good color reproduction because the light source, namely, the CCLF, does not have good light emission characteristics.
- the size and capacity of the fluorescent lamp are limited, a backlight of a high luminance cannot be obtained.
- a light emitting diode receives much attention as a light source of the backlight.
- the LED has a longer life span than that of the CCFL, and because it operates at a DC of 5V, it does not need an inverter.
- the high luminance LED has a longer life span than that of the CCFL and consumes power 20% of the existing product, and because the high luminance LED does not need additional equipment such as an inverter or the like, it is advantageous for making a product thinner and effectively use an inner area. Also, its color implementation capability is evaluated to be superior to the CCFL, and the full-fledged regulation since 2006 worldwide supports the adoption of the LED backlight.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view schematically showing a general LCD using an LED backlight.
- an LED array 20 generating light As shown in FIG. 2 , in the general side-type LED backlight LCD, an LED array 20 generating light, an LED printed circuit board (PCB) 21 for driving the LED and a reflective plate 42 are installed on a lower cover 50 , and an LED housing reflector 55 is attached to an upper portion of the lower cover 50 at an upper side of the LED array 20 .
- PCB printed circuit board
- a light guide plate 41 is installed in a direction in which the LED array 20 outputs light, and in this case, a plurality of LEDs constituting the LED array 20 are positioned between LEDs at a certain interval in order to obtain an overall luminance uniformity of the backlight.
- the reflective plate 42 positioned under the light guide plate 41 serves to reflect light outputted from the LED array 20 toward the lower cover 50 to transmit it toward optical sheets 43 .
- the LED housing reflector 55 reflects light outputted toward the upper portion of the lower cover 50 from the LED array 20 to transmit it toward the optical sheets 43 .
- a liquid crystal panel 10 composed of a TFT array substrate and a color filter substrate is mounted on an upper portion of the LED backlight thusly configured and coupled with an adhesive tape 11 through an upper case (not shown) to form the LCD.
- the thickness of respective main components In order to make the existing LED backlight thinner, the thickness of respective main components must be minimized. However, the performances such as the minimization of thickness, an optical efficiency and mechanic reliability are traded off each other, causing a limitation in minimizing the thickness.
- An aspect of the present invention provides a liquid crystal display (LCD) device having an LED backlight that does not cause a problem with respect to an environmental regulation of a cold cathode fluorescence lamp (CCFL).
- LCD liquid crystal display
- Another aspect of the present invention provides an LCD device which is thinner and lighter, and has a reduced cost and processing time by omitting an LED housing reflector.
- Another aspect of the present invention provides an LCD device capable of effectively coping with a reduction in the quantity of light resulting from a lighter and thinner configuration.
- an LCD device including: a liquid crystal panel; an LED array supplying light to the liquid crystal panel; a light guide plate installed in a direction in which the LED outputs light, and guiding light; a reflection plate formed between the LED array and a lower portion of a lower cover; and an LED PCB attached to an upper portion of the lower cover at an upper side of the LED array and having a reflection layer formed at a side facing the light guide plate.
- a method for fabricating an LCD device including: providing a liquid crystal panel; providing an LED array for generating light to the liquid crystal panel; providing a reflection plate between the LED array and a lower portion of the lower cover; providing a light guide plate in a direction in which the LED array outputs light; and attaching an LED PCB having a reflection layer to an upper portion of the lower cover at an upper side of the LED array, wherein the reflection layer is formed at a side facing the light guide plate.
- the LCD according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention can properly cope with an environmental regulation that is gradually strengthened, because it does not cause such a problem with the environmental regulation as a CCFL.
- the LED PCB with the reflection layer formed on surface thereof is installed at an upper side of the LED array and the reflection plate extends such that it sufficiently covers the lower portion of the LED array to thus make light emitted from the light source incident to its maximum level, thus making the LCD device thinner, and accordingly, coping with the reduction in the quantity of light.
- the problem as in the related art in which the reflection plate extends to overlap is basically avoided, so the reflection efficiency of the reflection plate can be increased by 5% or greater.
- the LED housing reflector is omitted, the cost is reduced, a process for assembling the LED housing reflector can be also omitted, obtaining the effects that the processing time can be reduced, a defective rate can be reduced, a production yield can be improved, and the workability can be improved.
